Sunny and still

The creek is reflecting the gardens on the North bank.  Squirrels are busy under the feeder. Lots of cardinals are around.  (Four can seem like lots when they are flying around.) The male finch sang for breakfast while the female ate it.

Towhees and brown thrashers have been in the mulch all day. This one found something. Dragonflies are finally becoming common along with wasps.  A lovely orb spider is lurking by the Christmas fern. 

And with the coming of dusk, I saw a firefly.
